Succus Cineraria Maritima by Walker Pharmacal Company
Wooden box measures just over 1\" tall, 2\" deep and 3\" wide. The clear glass empty vials measure approximately 2\" tall with the cork top. Only 1 is labeled. I believe this is because the other vials were used for mixing.This product claimed to treat cataracts and other \"eye opacities\". This \"medication\" has an interesting history. This is from the JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association - 1917): \"It was in February, 1916, that the Walker Pharmacal Company pleaded guilty to the charge of making false and fraudulent claims for Succus Cineraria Maritima. In October, 1916, they were still sending out circular letters to physicians urging the use of Succus Cineraria Maritima in the treatment of cataract and enclosing the usual booklet of testimonials claiming cures for cataract and other opacities of the lens and cornea!\"
